Nickel oxide (NiO) nanopowders were synthesized without using surfactant by chemical reduction technique. NaBH4 influence on structural, optical and magnetic properties of NiO product was investigated. XRD results revealed the formation of dominant single phase, cubic face centered nickel oxide. Raman peaks depicts the characteristic first-order transverse optical (TO) phonon, two phonon excitation (TO + LO), excitation (2LO) Raman mode vibrations of face centered cubic NiO. PL studies revealed the presence of strong emission band which is in good agreement with the intrinsic NiO product. FTIR studies explored metal oxygen vibrations of the obtained product. TEM results revealed the nanoscale product with spherical shape structures. VSM studies explored weak ferromagnetic behavior of the obtained product. High concentration of NaBH4 increases magnetization value and exhibits the typical weak ferromagnetic curve. Reducing agent played a vital role in the structural, optical and magnetic properties of the obtained NiO product.
